Nehemiah 9:29-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
29 You warned them to turn back to Your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey Your commands.
They sinned against Your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.(A)
They stubbornly resisted,[a]
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.
30 You were patient with them for many years,
and Your Spirit warned them through Your prophets,(B)
but they would not listen.
Therefore, You handed them over to the surrounding peoples.(C)
